New Joseph Arthur & The Lonely Astronauts Video - "Faith" (Stereogum Premiere)
Joseph Arthur might be homeless, but that doesn't mean he can't put together another visually interesting video. In the flickering, home movie-style clip for Temporary People's anthemic "Faith," we see Arthur drop his daughter off at his ex's place, don his sunglasses and cowboy hat to drink away the sadness, take a drive in his convertible with the top down, collapse on the side of the road, and then get revived by some kind of dancing spirit. No offense, Joseph, but this is probably why you didn't win custody. Once he trades his car in for a space in a trailer park, though, things start looking up.
His new girlfriend seems nice.
Temporary People is out via Arthur's Lonely Astronaut.

Stick to what you're good at Joe. Two years of this is long enough. Let's have another Redemption's Son please....
